"DocToRINe OLD TIME
STRIKING rIcTURE---A REVIVAL OF OLD
Tnik sIMPLiCir1Es

In one OF Harpei's issues is given
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as ''Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents typical
old timer, with his bellows, blowing
the dust from an ancient clock, with
its cords aud weights carefully secured.
One of these clocks in this generation
is appreciated only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring
Old Time" brings TO our mind another
purpose, ,--"Old Time Doctoring.'
We learn, through reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas
and medical preparations used in the
beginning of this century, and even
before, with u view of ascertaining
why people in our great-grandfathers
time enjoyed a health and physical
vigor so seldom found in the present
generation. They now think they
have secured the secret or secrets.
They find that the prevailing opinion
that then existed, that mature has a
remedy for every existing disorder :
was true, and acting under this belief,
our grandparents used the common
herbs and plants. Continual trespass
upon the forest domain, has made these
herbs less abundant, and has driven
them further from civilization, until
they have been discarded, as remedial
agents because of the difficulty of OBJ
tanning them.
III. H. Warner, proprietor of War
ner's safe cure, and founder of the
Warner observatory, Rochester, N. Y,
has been pressing Investigations
in this direction, into the an
nails of old family histories, until he
has secured some very valuable formu-
las, from which bis firm is now pre-
pairing medicines, to be sold by all
druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under
the general title of "Warner's Log
Cabin Remedies - Among these
medicines will be ''Sarsaparilla,' for
the blood aud liver, "Log Cabin Hops
and Buchu Remedy" for the stomach,
etc, "Log Cabin Cough and Consump-
ton Remedy" remeiy called "Scalp-
ine," for the hair, LOG Cabin Ex-
tract" for internal and external use,
and an old valuable discovery for
Calarrh, called LOG Cabin Rose
Cream Among the list is also a
'Log Cain Plaster" and a "Log
CABIN Liver Pill"
From the number of remedies, it
will be seen that they do not propose
to cure all diseases with one prepara-
tion. 1t is believed by many that with
these remedies a new era is to dawn
upon suffering humanity, and that the
close of the nineteenth century will
see these roots and herbs, as compound
ed under the title of Warmers Log
Cabin Remedies, as popular as they
were at its beginning. Although they
come in the form of proprietary
medicines, vet they will be none the
less welcome, for suffering humanity
has become tired of modern doctoring
and the public has great confidence in
any remedies put up by the firm of
which II. II. Warner is the head. The
people have become suspicious of the
effects of doctoring with poisonous
drugs, few realize the injurious effects
following the prescriptions of many
modern physicians. These effects Of
poisonous drugs already prominent,
will become more pronounced in coming
generations. Therefore we can cordial
ly wish the old fashioned new RENE
dies the best of success.
